For sure. Moving stuff in during park hours is business as usual for this project.
And the amount of people who will see these tweets and *dont* already know there’s a Jurassic Park Raptor coaster being built at IoA is approximately 0

If another one shows up tomorrow then I'm calling entrance with a huge nod to DD
Nah, they were literally driving construction equipment through NY when they were building Transformers
This attraction is in the interior of the park
There's really no other way to get to it than coming through a fence and crossing over the midway
Also, video

They’re not working on the entrance though. They’re working on the paddock. They haven’t even built the exterior queue where the entrance will be yet.

Osprey vs Velociraptor. Two Beasts of Prey colliding for the first time. A match 63 million years in the making. Whoever wins...we lose.
Only on NBC
Yea this was clearly being placed inside the rock work area
Hoping for the bridge landing or placing it ever so carefully by the DC until it and it's mirror can be installed, I still dream
I would love to know whether it was custom sculpted just for this attraction or if it was scanned and cnc’d from an existing maquette. Too, it would be cool to know the price tag. Woof.

I wondered the details on how the original JP movie dino’s mesh was created as well as what software was available at the time. This article fit the bill in detail and is a fascinating read interviewing the lead cg animator at the time, Steve Williams. How 4 Minutes Of CGI Dinosaurs In ‘Jurassic Park’ Took A Year To Make

^ you should tweet that to @universalorl along with the flying raptor as a marketing idea while they have the crane there. "This ride will eat you alive"

Judging from the crane shot this is a static display and not an AA. It does have brackets on it's feet to be bolted in place... presumably onto the rockwork since that's where it was lowered into. It will be interesting to see if they do some AA raptors though. I've seen the ones in Japan and they look good but the movement is very robotic and not smooth to be believable. Time will tell.

I'd at least expect something on par with the final Jurassic World raptor in the queue or show scenes
This is from something I wrote last month. The number is the rumor. The placements were guesses. (It definitely looked like this guy was going into the ride area today though.)

Just an educated guess, but I would think that if AA's are used, they would be in the areas (like the queue, brake run, launch building) that you're moving more slowly. In the rest of the ride, you'll be traveling so fast that you'll never get a really good look at them.
